Jul-17-09		Benzol: There is a game in Wenman's 100 Chess Gems by a W Wurm. I wonder if this is the same player?

Jul-17-09		whiteshark: <Benzol> I don*t know Wenman's 100 Chess Gems, I only found the enclosed game on chesslive.de [Event "corr"] [Date "1928.??.??"] [White "Wurm,W"] [Black "Geier,V"] [Result "1-0"] [Eco "E10"] 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.d4 e6 3.c4 c5 4.d5 b5 5.Bg5 exd5 6.cxd5 h6 7.Bxf6 Qxf6 8.Qc2 d6 9.Nc3 a6 10.e4 Bg4 11.e5 dxe5 12.Ne4 Qf4 13.a4 b4 14.Be2 h5 15.Nxc5 Bxc5 16.Qxc5 Nd7 17.Qd6 Rc8 18.Qxa6 0-0 19.0-0 e4 20.Nd4 Nc5 21.Qb5 e3 22.Nc6 exf2+ 23.Rxf2 Qe3 24.Bxg4 Nd3 25.Qxd3 Qxd3 26.Ne7+ Kh8 27.Bxc8 Qd4 28.a5 Qc5 29.Re1 Rxc8 30.Nxc8 Qxc8 31.d6 Kh7 32.Rd2 1-0 + uploaded

Jul-17-09		Benzol: <whiteshark> 100 Chess Gems game has the following score. Wurm's opponent is given as Dr H Geiger ( could be the same opponent as in the game you've given ) with no date given. The only other information is that it says that it was played in Germany. [Event "?"] [Site "Germany"] [Date "????.??.??"] [EventDate "?"] [Round "?"] [Result "0-1"] [White "Geiger, Dr H "] [Black "Wurm, W"] [ECO "D10"] [WhiteElo "?"] [BlackElo "?"] [PlyCount "78"] 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5 3.c4 e6 4.Nc3 c6 5.e3 Nbd7 6.Bd3 dxc4 7.Bxc4 b5 8.Bd3 a6 9.O-O c5 10.e4 Bb7 11.Bg5 cxd4 12.Nxd4 Qb6 13.Nde2 Bc5 14.Ng3 h5 15.h3 h4 16.Nge2 Ne5 17.Bxf6 gxf6 18.Nf4 Rg8 19.Qe2 Nc6 20.Qh5 Nd4 21.Rac1 Rg5 22.Qh6 Ke7 23.Kh1 Rag8 24.Qxh4 Nf3 25.gxf3 Qd8 26.Ncd5+ exd5 27.e5 fxe5 28.Rxc5 Kd6 29.Qh6+ Kxc5 30.Rc1+ Kb4 31.a3+ Kb3 32.Bc2+ Kxb2 33.Nd3+ Kc3 34.Nc5 Kd2 35.Nxb7 Kxc1 36.Nxd8 Kxc2 37.h4 Rg1+ 38.Kh2 R8g2+ 39.Kh3 Rg6 0-1 I did submit this score a very long time ago but as it has never appeared I assumed it was rejected due to the lack of a date. Perhaps I should ask the admins what happened to it.

Jul-17-09		Benzol: <whiteshark> A similar situation occurred with a player named L Zollner. Wenman gave two of his games and neither had a date of when they were played. Subsequently I stumbled on the date of one of them. The other game is given in the thread of L Zollner vs G C Heywood, 1930 if you're interested.

Jul-17-09		whiteshark: <Benzol> I will keep that in mind. Unfortunately my chess PC broke down yesterday and it is unclear at the moment if the data from the hard disk can be restored.

Jul-17-09		sneaky pete: In some issues of Fernschach, 1931 (incorporated in Kagan's Neueste Schachnachrichten) there is separate mention of Geier and Hans Geiger (Fernwettkämpfe / Deutschland - Oesterreich / Urlaub: Geiger 2.-23.5. and a few lines below that: Unsere Turniere / 1. Meisterklasse / Anmeldungen: Roth, Geier). The January issue has a register of games published in 1930, with 8 games by Geier, 2 of them on page 26; 1 game by Wurm, on page 26; no games by Geiger. No initials given. I don't have the edition with page 26, but that must be the game from chesslife.de that was started in 1928. My guess is that Geier was German (and an active correspondence player), and Geiger an Austrian player who only occasionally indulged in this vice. His <Wenman> game against W. will have to remain undated, and even if we found a source and a date, it's only Autolycus style of chess history of course.

Dec-08-13		whiteshark: The late Wurm survived the early Bird

Dec-09-13		thegoodanarchist: <whiteshark: The late Wurm survived the early Bird> Too bad there is nothing in the db with him playing Bird, or even Bird's Opening (A02) for that matter!
